Court Intervention, the Consent Decree, and the Century Freeway
The report chronicles the history of the Century Freeway (known officially as the Glenn M. Anderson Freeway/Transitway or I-105) and analyzes the impact of litigation in its construction. In 1972, a lawsuit and resulting injunction halted work on the Century Freeway. The injunction required the then Division of Highways to develop a formal environmental impact statement on the entire Century Freeway project and to carry out additional public hearings. In 1979, parties to the lawsuit entered into a consent decree, amended two years later, which laid out the terms under which the project would go forward. The I-105, projected to cost over two billion dollars, traverses nine cities and the County of Los Angeles. At completion in 1993, the freeway will be 17 miles long, six lanes wide, and contain areas for high occupancy vehicles and for rail transit. The impacts of an injunction and consent decree on the construction and implementation of the Century Freeway have been felt primarily in time of commencement of construction; date of completion; sites of institutional management; significant but not dramatic design changes and environmental impact mitigations; perceived costs; and controversial changes in the provision of replacement and replenishment housing and the affirmative action process.
